Comes into this contest fresh off a win at Chantilly over 1900m in a weak claiming race but can go back-to-back. Expect a good account from this runner

Ignore last run when 12th, finished an encouraging 2nd before that over 2150m at Cagnes-Sur-Mer in a competitive Handicap. Strong each way chance

Lightly raced and not fully exposed, finished 5th last time and can certainly do way more than that. Good chance

Needs to show plenty more than has done in all three starts and would therefore be a surprise winner. Last run was 6th at Compiegne over 1600m

Hard to make a case for on three efforts seen thus far and is hard to tip. Happy to wait for improvement and can be passed by

Is a tad erratic posting a good effort then a bad one. Finished 2nd in penultimate run over 2400m at Pornichet and can earn based on that alone

Has been victorious in last two starts and there is no reason why the hat trick cannot be achieved. Last win was at Cagnes-Sur-Mer over 2150m. Bright chance

Will need to serve up way more than recent 7th place at Lyon La Soie over 1800m and others are far preferred for the shortlist. Pass by

He has placed 4 from 6 and yet to win his maiden. Last run was 7th at Chantilly over 1900m in a Handicap and has claims today

Lightly raced and surely has more to offer. Finished 7th over 2000m last time and way more can be expected. Strong place chance as the value

Race Overview
VICTORY WIND (2) is lightly raced, clearly talented and can be forgiven for the last performance when downfield in 12th place at Fontainebleau over 2000m last month. She is selected to fly home and win this. SAMWEST (1) was a winner of the last start albeit of a weak claiming race and it would be no shock if he were to go back-to-back. LA BOBRIDE (3) is lightly raced, a touch difficult to assess but clearly has ability and must be respected in most bets. FIGHT TO FLY (9) has a first four chance.
Selection:
2 - 1 - 3
